Media brings homelessness to people's attention

Thanks to the media for broadcasting information about the needs of the homeless in Ocean County.  From the newspapers covering the pretrial conferences in Historic Courtroom One to the television interviews of the homeless to the coverage of the homeless forums that put a face to homelessness and present solutions, the media is there.

In the latest updates, NJN highlighted the plight of the people surviving in Tent City with interviews of attorney Jeffre Wild and four homeless people Monday.  The link is  http://www.njn.net/news/watch/monday.html    The link will take you to the complete news half-hour.  To access only the homeless story you'll see, on the right hand side of the news broadcast, the story headlines.  Go down a few stories and click on “Homeless Shelter Funding.” 

WOBM had a story about this coming Monday's homeless forum, hosted by the Kiwanis clubs of Ocean County and the Central Ocean Rotary Club.  The forum begins at 6:30 p.m.  At 6 p.m. the hallway outside Mancini Hall will be open and people can talk with groups that are assisting the homeless.

Sunday morning Tripp Rogers will interview Tracy Boyer about the homeless and the forum.  Tripp's program begins at 7 a.m. and can be heard at Magic 100.1 .
